This brochure is a survey about the usage of AERODISP® dispersions in different applications. AERODISP® dispersions are easy to handle and to work with in many applications their properties outperform those of powders.

The Technical Bulletin Fine Particles No. 11 contains fundamental knowledge on and applications for AEROSIL® . The brochure provides extensive information about the manufacture of hydrophilic and hydrophobic AEROSIL® , physico-chemical data, and basics on the applications. The most important areas of use are introduced and application effects discussed. A brief list of technical terms and the most important literature references are provided at the end.

A good flowability is the prerequisite for handling powders properly, discharching them easily out of a silo and dosing them exactly. However, many powders are highly cohesive and the proper processing thereforce is a challenge.

This brochure compiles information about manufacture, physico-chemical characteristics and applications fields of our AEROXIDE® fumed metal oxide grades in a very comprehensive way. It provides a brief list of technical terms and literature references.
